1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundLeukemia is the most common malignant proliferative disease in children. Our previous study found that miR-99a was up-regulated in pediatric primary AML using microRNA expression profiles. Up to date, although there is a certain number of reports on microRNA expression features and functions in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the expression and function of miR-99a in these diseases remain to be investigated.

methodsqRT-PCR was performed to measure the expression level of miR-99a in 88 samples including 68 pediatric acute myeloid leukemia patients, 8 chronic myeloid leukemia patients and 12 pediatric controls. MTT assay, apoptosis assay, dual-luciferase reporter transfection assay and western blot analysis were used to investigate the function of miR-99a.

resultsMiR-99a was highly expressed in pediatric-onset AML (M1-M5) and CML, while significantly lowly expressed during complete remission of these diseases. MTT assay indicated that the proliferations of K562 and HL60 cells were significantly promoted by miR-99a, and apoptosis assessment by Annexin V/propidium iodide staining demonstrated that the apoptosis of these cells was inhibited by miR-99a. Additionally, dual-luciferase reporter transfection assay and western blot analysis indicated that miR-99a may target CTDSPL and TRIB2, which are two tumor suppressor genes.

conclusionsThis study revealed that miR-99a may play a potential oncogenic role in pediatric myeloid leukemia including AML and CML via regulating tumor suppressors CTDSPL and TRIB2, suggesting that these two leukemias might share some common biological pathways involved in the generation and development of disease and miR-99a could be a common therapeutic target for myeloid leukemias treatment.
